READING PASSAGE 1
Questions 1 – 7 
Q 1. The building where the exhibition is staged has been newly renovated.
Answer: 
Not Given
Explanation: 
Although the passage mentions 
Palazzo Barbaran da Porto as a building 
where the exhibition is 
held, we cannot find any information implying that it has been 
newly renovated. 
Q 2. Palazzo Barbaran da Porto typically represents the Palladio’s design.
Answer: 
True
Part of the passage: 
The exhibition has the special advantage of being held in one of 
Palladio’s buildings, Palazzo Barbaran da Porto. Its bold façade is a mixture of rustication 
and decoration set between two rows of elegant columns. 
On the second floor the pedi-
ments are alternately curved or pointed, a Palladian trademark.
 
The harmonious propor-
tions of the atrium at the entrance lead through to a dramatic interior of fine fireplaces 
and painted ceilings. Palladio’s design is simple, clear and not overcrowded.
